Kita Selangor Rail Line
Rail line in Selangor , Negeri Sembilan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kita Selangor Rail Line (Malay: Jajaran Rel Kita Selangor[2]) is a proposed mixed-use rail network in the state of Selangor, Malaysia.[3] The planned rail line aims to improve rail connectivity across the state, especially within the northern and western regions of Selangor, and to complement the existing rail transport network in Greater Kuala Lumpur.[3][4][5] Construction is expected to be implemented in multiple phases over a ten-year span with construction of the first phase expected to commence in 2027.[4][6][7] In August 2026, it was reported that the first phase of the line is expected to be completed in 2036 while the final phase would be completed by 2060.[8][9]

History
Proposal
The proposal for the line was first outlined as part of the state government's long-term transport strategy and included in the Selangor Pakatan Harapan's election manifesto before the 2023 Selangor state election.[10] Early plans focused on providing a rail connection between Klang and northern Selangor districts such as Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam, areas which are not directly served by existing urban rail services.[3][11][12]
During the tabling of the 2024 Selangor State Budget, the project was formally announced under the name Kita Selangor Rail, with RM3 million allocated to conduct a feasibility study.[4][13]
Review
In July 2025, the project was reported to be in the feasibility study stage. Tentatively, the project is to be divided into two phases; with the first spanning from Labu in Negeri Sembilan to Puncak Alam, while the second phase from Puncak Alam to Sabak Bernam.[10] The initial proposal had already been presented to the Ministry of Transport who welcomed the proposal.
Prasarana expressed its readiness to provide technical expertise for the project, citing its extensive experience in rail operations domestically and abroad.[14]
Overview
Route
According to the feasibility studies, the proposed rail line would have a total length of approximately 211 kilometres. The main alignment is planned to span Sabak Bernam in the northwest of Selangor, passing through Sepang, and extending southwards towards Negeri Sembilan.[13] Several spur lines have been proposed to connect strategic locations including Westport, Klang, Putra Heights, and Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) in Bestari Jaya.[13] The proposed rail line is expected to provide a direct connection to major industrial and transportation hubs such as the planned Selangor Aero Park, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Subang Airport, Port Klang and Carey Island.[4][5][15][16]
The project is also intended to integrate with existing and future rail infrastructure, including a potential connection with the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), to enhance inter-regional connectivity within Peninsular Malaysia.[12][17][18][19]
Service
The Kita Selangor Rail Line is envisioned as a mixed-use rail line capable of carrying both passengers and freight. The trains are expected to significantly shorten travel times compared to road transport. State officials have indicated that the line could support logistics movements between ports, airports and industrial zones, in addition to daily commuter travel.[5][17][18]
The trains are planned to reach up to 160 km/h, hence potentially shortening travel from northernmost end of the line Sabak Bernam to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) from two hours and 41 minutes (by car) to one hour and 42 minutes (by rail).[20]
